CloudWatch logs with Amazon Linux 2

I am upgrading my Elastic Beanstalk environment to use Amazon Linux 2.

In my old environment, I could monitor my Spring Boot application logs by watching the log group using cw.exe /aws/elasticbeanstalk/myapp/var/log/eb-docker/containers/eb-current-app/stdouterr.log

Now, however, no logs are displayed for the new application, and furthermore I notice that the stdouterr.log in /eb-current-app/ seems to prepend the instance ID of the log.

What do I need to do restore the previous behavior so I can monitor my logs?

Cloudwatch logs is available as a yum package now in Amazon Linux 2: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/QuickStartEC2Instance.html

sudo yum install -y awslogs

You might have to edit this file /etc/awslogs/awscli.conf too to change the region.

Finally you will need to start and enable

sudo systemctl start awslogsd
sudo systemctl enable awslogsd.service

And set it all up as a config in this file ebextensions/cloudwatch.config
